53 Alpine Ridge Drive, Merrijig VIC 3723

This property really is something special. Enjoying a prime location on a nice level block at the very top of prestigious Alpine Ridge Drive, the charming home features big North facing windows (double glazed of course) that let the natural light flood in, while the established front garden provides privacy for humans and habitat for a bevy of native birds. There's a clever motion sensing sprinkler system that keeps the kangaroos and deers at bay to allow the plants and lush lawn to thrive. That's just one example of the thought and expense the current owners have committed to creating an inviting, low maintenance home that is incredibly comfortable in all seasons. There's also lots of storage, inside and out, including a woodshed, tool shed and another large lock up shed.
Soaring cathedral ceilings add to the home's light airy feel, with bamboo flooring a durable and sustainable choice. There's an established fruit orchard and veggie garden, and we think you will love cooking with your own fresh produce in the fabulous kitchen with high quality European appliances. A grid connected solar system also contributes to the property's sustainability and dramatically reduces power bills.
The home itself is very energy efficient with an ideal solar aspect, extensive insulation and big double glazed windows and doors that open to allow excellent cross ventilation in the warmer months. There's also reverse cycle air-conditioning and a stylish and super efficient Italian wood heater. It's so cosy here in Winter!
Speaking of winter, the entrance to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling resorts are only a few minutes drive, but if you prefer to head somewhere warmer this is the perfect 'lock-up and leave' property or you could collect a handsome return with holiday rental while you are travelling. The high span carport has plenty of room for a big caravan or camper when you are homeand we do think you will find in hard to leave this gorgeous property.
There are so many outdoor adventures to be had in this remarkable part of the world, but you might just want to sit on the either the front or back deck here and enjoy the beautiful forest and mountain views.
